For many German ex-soldiers, Unimog means first and foremost the Unimog Type S, known as the “one-and-a-half tonner”. This type of truck was their daily workhorse and, with a massive 36,638 Unimog S trucks in service with the Bundeswehr, the word omnipresent could well be applied here. This figure also makes the Type S the top of the line in terms of military trucks delivered to the German armed forces. The production output is also reflected in an active service period stretching 53 years, and a service record with almost all German units in the army, navy and air force.
This trilogy comprehensively shows the Unimog S’s development, technology and German army variants. Versions covered include cargo, box body, ambulance, dummy training tank, fire engine, double-cab driver-trainer, armoured trucks, specialised air force variants and many more. A major work with a total of 360 photos and illustrations as well as five 1/35 scale drawings on 198 pages in three volumes.

How to order our publications?

For reasons of streamlining our company, and to disband the much-complained-about ‚stone-age’ print-out ordering system, we have revised our online shop system. With these measures we are aiming to increase customer satisfaction: Effective as of now it is no longer possible to order at Tankograd in Germany directly. Instead, the following national outlets will allow you to order more efficiently, at less postage, and using modern online-basket shopping systems with much improved payment options. For those customers who cannot find a national outlet in this list, please order at one of the German modelling traders and military bookshops at the end of the list. These also stock our range and will be more than happy to hear from you.
